Here's the poshed up Kangaroo that Maurice bought from me.
It was pretty good under all the grunge, tank was full of water, carbs were horrible, valves and pistons were gummed up with gunge and the sump was full of petrol. The clutch was glued together but generally it was all ok. It ran like a champ too.

Oh and all the wiring to the switches had melted.

I have the mould for the TS fairing should you want one from it, carbon fibre re-inforced or 100% if you like, I also have a used fairing and several sets of bracketry.

You were lucky fourth gear didn't give up on you! That was the trigger to send it to Red... Btw how long was that warranty you have me

 

[mauricejota7604]

It was that additional load on the engine from the Mikunis, I am afraid that voided the warranty,

It's a strange man who wears fourth gear out

It's a strange man who wears fourth gear out

2nd. and 4th. gear mainshaft bushes are nearly ALWAYS very worn. 3rd. on the layshaft much the same, 5th. main to a lesser degree, mostly.

Some gearboxes display horrific amounts of play in the gear bushes, next to many mal-adjusted gears and shafts. Seen lots of broken gears too, possibly resulting from excessive clearance. Finding a Laverda gearbox that is not in need of some TLC is a very rare occurance.

Here we go …… the old popping wheelies downhill at 100mph in fourth, story.
